# app-rimApplication Runtime Image Managerc - python module enabling to manage( backup , restore, organize ) files that get created durring usage of applications in users profile dir. This module primarly targets linux environments, it may work in other setups. Support for thoose might be added in future## BackgroundIn linux each system user is associated with user profile dir. Nextwhen a user uses an application like dropbox ( or others ) a subdirin profile is created named ".dropbox" and it stores the user configuration of application as well as logs or other stuff appneeds to work properly. ## GoalThis project aims to build a python module that will allow the following:1) Create a tar archive of application configuration ( accounting for diffrent location of this files ie. ".config", ".local/share" ). 2) allow restoration from backup stored in a globally defined backup dir3) Provide the means to reconfigure existing application files into directory hierarchy that is more compatible with xdg definition ( configuration files go into .config temporary, files go into .cache, logs go into var/log, others go into .local/share )4) Provied means to detec what applications have been used by user based on what configuration files have been created ( carefully crafting a list of known non aplication dirs ie. .loca/share/application )
